"And tea?" Xarxos asked, his eyes sparkling at the thought of free tea.
0.9 recurring equal to 1? Thinking about this for a moment, he let the idea swim around in his head. Cackling, Xarxos scribbled down some unintelligeble notes and procceeded to answer the druid. "If you multiply 0.9 recurring by 10, you would get 9.9 recurring. Then, if you took away 0.9 recurring from it, you would get 9. Let's try it with 1. If you multiply 1 by 10, you would get 10. Then, if you took away 1 from it, you would get 9. Using the same method with two numbers resulted in the same solution. Hence, the two numbers are equivalent, or 0.9 recurring is equal to 1."
"Hmmm... Is it possible for me to acquire my own library? I'd like to read to see what other tools and problems there are out there. Oh, and I'll need lots of paper and pencils. No pens."
